SENSING CLIMATES PROJECT

PRODUCED BY: Saif Mosafeer, Heaven Palijama, Kunwar Singh, Phoebe Hancox

SYNOPSIS

Emerging multiple ways of attuning to nature, our group wanted to challenge ourselves as makers in exploring our relationship with the environment. Videography, photography, and sound work were combined to create an immersive experience by portraying a divided point of view, one being a disturbed environment from human impact and the other undisturbed. Four split screens create moving visuals of both worlds, pictures help surround the area conveying more meaning, and the sound wraps everything together, making it whole.

WRITTEN PROSE

WRITTEN PROSE (TYPED)

I left a bag on top of a hill

And wandered down to the lake

Calm cool water Licked at my feet

 

My life used to be in absolutes

I absolutely would travel

And I absolutely would buy a house

Now I’m not so sure,

And nothing is certain

I submerged myself,

Lake water entering my eyes and nose

It covered me

The sunset across the hill

Casting an orange glow

And the trees turned to rust

A friendly bird

A clever creature he opened up my bag

Undoing it’s zip,

he threw away my scarf

And then he threw my pen

Until he found what he wanted

My salad sandwich

Inside a ziplock bag

Of which he expertly disposed of

Ripping it to shreds and pulling out the bread

Happy and content I wonder if he knew

The damage he had just done

The plastic he had shredded

Or the processed carbs he had stolen

It would surely be his end
